New 'Melrose Place' teaser: Heather Locklear vs. Katie Cassidy, blonde vs. blonde

When Heather Locklear joined the first incarnation of "Melrose Place," she sparked a turnaround in the little-seen show's ratings, propelling it to watercooler status like parent show "Beverly Hills, 90210." Now there's a new "90210" and a new "Melrose Place," and Locklear is once again being asked to save the show. We don't know how yet, other than that the actress will return as cold-hearted exec Amanda Woodward, and that she'll storm into WPK and Ella's (Katie Cassidy) life. Locklear returns to the show Nov. 17. Get a very quick sneak peek: Follow Zap2it on Twitter for the latest TV, movie and celebrity news updates.
